Latest Divrei Torah

  • Thoughts for Va-ethanan 5770
    This sedra opens with Moshe’s pleading with God to just be allowed to enter the Land of Israel.  As if to say, ‘once I’ve been in the Land of Israel, I can die happy.’  Hashem continually reminds us of the unsurpassed importance of the Land of Israel throughout His Torah; but nowhere like in this last book, D’varim/Deuteronomy.  Despite this ubiquitous presence of the Land of Israel in every matter of Torah, Moshe’s plea here gets some special thought. In...

  • Thought for D'varim 5770
    We begin a new humash, and on a unique note.  The book of D’varim/Deuteronomy is the farewell speech of our master and leader, Moshe rabbenu.  We stand on the eastern approaches to the land of Israel.  The tribes of Reuven and Gad (and part of Menashe) have already laid claim to the Bashan, in last week’s reading.  I would add a personal note here.  Last week, while reading Matot-Masei, I was in the Golan Heights at Midreshet Hagolan in Hispin.  What could...

  • Thoughts for Matot-Masei 5770
    A brief reminder about reading (and writing) a d’var Torah.  It is very easy to look at the text and ask ‘what is the message?’  As if the ‘message’ belongs to the ‘text’.  But Torah is d’var Hashem, and what we are looking for is what God is telling us.  Not just ‘a message’; but Hashem’s message. In our sedra, the people of Reuven and Gad see that the land they are on, on the east side of the Jordan, suits them....

  • Thoughts for Pinhas
    Pinhas opens with a response to a simply shocking event.  At the end of the previous sedra, Pinhas ben Elazar jumped ‘out of the crowd’ and publicly killed a public leader who was publicly sinning with a Midianite woman, promoting a breakdown of public morality and loyalty to Judaism and the Jewish people.  The word ‘public’ appears quite a bit there, doesn’t it?  It should; because so much of the Torah is aimed at, and an expression of, Jews publicly...

  • Thoughts for Balak
    There are many curious things about this sedra.  The idea of a non-Jewish prophet prominent in Torah is unusual, to be sure.  The fact that God may choose the most unlikely messengers to praise, bless, and foretell the future of Israel is a very important observation.  We typically fall into a pattern of thinking we know the conditions and requirements that qualify someone to give us insight into Hashem’s holy Torah.  Along comes Bilaam (why do translators call him Balaam,...
